Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

You cannot input that using the load() command. You will need to use uiimport() or textscan()

Answer 2

[David Sanchez]

This example may be of help (taken from documentation):

x = 0:.1:1;
y = [x; exp(x)];

fid = fopen('exp.txt', 'w');
fprintf(fid, '%6.2f %12.8f\n', y);
fclose(fid);

% method 1
load('exp.txt')  %And you end up with a variable (matrix) called _exp_  holding your data

%method 2:
% Read the data, filling A in column order
% First line of the file:
%    0.00    1.00000000

fid = fopen('exp.txt');
A = fscanf(fid, '%g %g', [2 inf]);
fclose(fid);

% Transpose so that A matches
% the orientation of the file
A = A';
